When we were in the south of Spain we had a chance for a few days in Marrakash. My thoughts are just like Lagonda. I passed on the chance but that’s just me.
Marrakech is nice, you must check out the souks. A word of warning do not shake any bodies hands, they will not let go till they make you buy something.
Ron -
Nanc & I visited Marrakesh during our trip to Morocco, about 12 years ago.
We took the overnight "Marrakesh Express" from Tangier (Just like the CS&N song).
Favorite cities were Fez and Chefchouen.
It was fun to walk through the big central market area of Marrakesh.
Have fun!
Ron, I was there for my cousin's wedding around 2005. I think it was before the Arab Spring. His parents built this house when they moved there from Paris. It was a lovely few days. Be sure to check out the markets and rug stores. I enjoyed the mint tea. If you can, try to get out to the Atlas Mountains. Here are some photos. The architecture is beautiful. A lot of French and Germans moved there about twenty years ago, though I don't know what it is like now. It was quite trendy and chic to visit back then.
Take the train from Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth
Colored cottons hang in the air
Charming cobras in the square
Striped djellebas we can wear at home Well, let me hear you now
My best friend's wife is from Marrakesh (I guess she's my second best friend by association Lol)...she says go there, don't miss out on a unique experience.
